I blink and you’re gone
Half our bed is crisp and cold
Empty like my heart
Broken by my one true love
Destined to wander alone

Spider’s Web
I gave you everything,
Heart,
Soul,
All that you asked,
You played coy,
Feeding my appetite for love,
With promises and feigned passion,
Luring me into your web,
Wrapping me in a silky cocoon,
Warm and safe,
Nestled in you arms,
A deceitful security,
If only I had not been so blind,
I would have recognized your fangs,
Impaling me to numbness,
Helpless and oblivious,
Under your anesthetic poison,
I waited trembling,
For you to squander all that I am,
Weakened by the deluge,
Blood and spirit abate,
Eyes flutter and roll,
Your beauty,
First limpid, fades to black,
The nothingness that is your soul,
Emptied,
You discarded my hollowed husk,
Leaving me to crumble,
And scatter to the four winds.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Aberrant
Ire stabs at the heart,
Drawing blood,
Cuts and barbs of abhorrence,
Scarring the flesh,
Raised and angry,
Wounds won’t heal,
Relentless punishment,
Begging forgiveness is futile,
Shattered trust is rarely mendable,
Crawling through broken glass,
Is preferable to this agony,
It is not to be,
Absolution inconceivable,
Betrayal has set course,
Seeking love,
In the arms of another,
Aberrant.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Brokenhearted
When passions fail tears bathe the wounded soul
Drowning the pain so freely inflicted
Hurt is temporary by design so be unyielding
Willing arms are outstretched to comfort you
You will not be abandoned for I am with you always
~~
No words need spoken
Your silence speaks the volumes of emotion enveloping you
My heart is torn and bleeding in your agony
Tearing at me like shards of shattered glass
Razor sharp and unrelenting in intensity
~~
Healing seems impossible amongst the ruin of betrayal
But you must have the courage to trust again
Take my hands and give me all of your sorrow
This is what my love and friendship tender
Without condition or reservation
~~
Know that you are adored by those around you
Your loss and heartbreak is shared with compassion
Drawing out that which tortures your spirit
Leaving you consoled and warm
Able to experience love again

Haiku – Love Part 2
By D. R. DiFrancesco
The prick of a rose,
Drops of falling crimson flow,
Symbolizing love.
**********************************
In dreams I see you,
Restlessly watching you sleep,
Praying you’re still mine.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Arms wrapped around me,
Tranquil warmth of your touch,
Invigorates me.
Haiku – Love Part 1
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Your tender touches,
Soft upon my weathered cheek,
Comforting my soul.
########################
Looking glassy eyed,
Trust broken by love’s demise,
Drowning in self-pity.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Tears of sadness fall,
Drenching my heartbroken soul,
In the dark abyss.
